I went to Sephora the other day looking for a high end compact with long wear and premium ingredients at a fair price and I was introduced to the Sephora line of cosmetics.. It goes on evenly, kills shine and does actually last 8 hours. I have skin that breaks out very easily and I haven't had any problems with this product. The beauty adviser assisted me by scanning my skin tone with a device and choosing the extra shade for my needs. It was nothing near the shades I selected for myself, so I am glad I asked. The compact comes with a sponge, mirror and a sleek black case. I was so impressed I bought other items from the Sephora line.
